The Thanksgiving Dilemma

I just thought I'd update you all on my Thanksgiving crisis. Every year for as long as I can remember, my family has celebrated Thanksgiving at my (mom's mom) Grandma Longmore's house. Does that make sense? Anyways, we have always had it there except for that one year they were on their couple mission in Denver, Colordado, but even then we celebrated it with them early so we still had it. But this year, for some strange reason, my grandma and grandpa have decided against hosting it at their home, or even on that side of the family at all! So now the only Thanksgiving dinner I have available to me is the one on my step-dad's side of the family. I mean, I have known the people for like a year and a half... but it's still awkward, and I don't really have that many friends on that side of the family since they're all way old or way young. And last year their yams weren't exactly "up to snuff." I am really picky about my sweet potatoes. All in all, I was really looking forward to this Thursday until I found out the sad news, but I suppose I shall just have to deal with it. A few friends have even offered to let me come to their family's Thanksgivings, but I think I'd be just as uncomfortable around a whole bunch of people I don't know. I also do not wish to impose on anyone's family... But I guess I shall keep it in mind.

No matter what, I am resolved to be Thankful for the things I have been blessed with: my family, my amazing friends (Michelle and Jessica and Jodi and everyone else not personally named, I love you! ), my opportunity to go to the U this semester (even if I am going to lose my scholarship and have to move home and start working at the local Burger King when it's over), all the hot men in the world that I can stare at for hours, Harry Potter EVERYTHING, my home, my clothes, all the provided necessities of life, MY LIFE, and EVERYTHING ELSE! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
